This is a new thread for all those who listen so closely to non-FZ bands that every once in a while one will find an FZ musical quote within a non-FZ artist's performance.

First of all, we are not interested in licensed lyric quotes like the Aerosmith ones on Permanent Vacation, and ZPZ does not count.


Listening to moe. Warts and All Volume 6, disc 3, the first song Four, and discovered that after the first verses, that the tune slowly evolves into a instrumental "guitar solo" section of Inca Roads, culminating around 8:23 with the part of Inca Roads right before "did a vehicle..."

I can't think of any right now, but will keep my ears wide open for possible cases...

The skipping record needle sounds, from WOIIFTM, are used to seperate tracks of live tomfoolery, in 2 places. NOT just an incredible simulation, but taken right from the Zappa album.

There's a band called Raq that covers FZ. Their concerts are up at the Internet Archive site. (and they're pretty good).

During a Yes-gig at Hanover, Germany, in 2003, Jon Anderson told a story about the heroes of his youth (Mickey Mouse and Frank Zappa mainly) and then sang a few lines from Dancin' Fool.

No shit.

What I would like to do, if I had the time, would be to assemble a list of all the Zappa references / quotes from Weird Al Yankovic's 'Genius In France' with time stamps.

Some examples are:

1. 'I'm the Slime' guitar intro
2. 'City of Tiny Lites' guitar solo riff "Wee-wee"
3. 'Dog Breath' melody "La la-la la-la, oooh-wee-oooh"

I hear a lot of FZ quotes when I go to see Dweezil live.

Hmm, never noticed this connection before......

Mainly because other than "wait a minute" I don't hear the similarity.

Todd Rundgrens Utopia, album is a definitive I want to be playing like Frank album, while original in some ways it has many FZ moments...One of my desert Island albums...

...

I didn't get into Utopia until Oops! Wrong Planet. I did eventually get Another Live which I really liked but I've still never listened to the first Utopia album or RA. I need to fix that. I know Todd dug Frank and witnessed some FZ rehearsals over time. No doubt an influence.

I think Todd's - A Wizard, A True Star has some sections of tape munipulation and some short songs on there are very FZ like. You Need Your head / Rock and Roll Pussy - http://youtu.be/5-21kw6CeLA
